5 common myths about injury rehab ⬇️
Myth: Rest is the best solution for recovery.
Reality: Prolonged inactivity actually makes you even worse. Gradual, guided movement is essential to rebuild strength and function.
Myth: Pain free means fully healed.
Reality: Pain relief is a start, but it doesn’t mean the injury is fully recovered. Rehab is often needed to restore function, prevent re-injury, and get you back to full strength.
Myth: You can self-diagnose and treat with online exercises.
Reality: Exercises online aren’t tailored to your needs, which can make them risky. A professional can assess, adapt, and guide you for a safe, efficient recovery.
Myth: Once you complete rehab, you’re done with exercise.
Reality: Continuing to strengthen and mobilize the area after formal rehab is crucial for long-term resilience and injury prevention.
Myth: All rehab is painful.
Reality: Rehab doesn’t have to hurt. While some techniques might feel uncomfortable, good rehab is manageable, progressive, and tailored to your tolerance level.
